Should all the illegal gains and the amount involved in the crime of counterfeiting trademarks be returned?
Yes, the illegal income and the amount involved in the crime of counterfeiting trademarks should all be refunded.

The fine should be decided by the judge according to the specific case, but there is a standard that criminals cannot make profits through illegal acts, so all illegal gains must be returned.

The crime of counterfeiting registered trademarks is aimed at the production and manufacturing links. Once manufactured, it should be confirmed as the amount involved, so if it is not sold, it should also be confirmed as the amount involved.
